Judith! Howzya?

CalGal:

We just got in from a great party for my husbands birthday...14 of our closest friends at a restaurant with terrific food and "molto" vino.

Decided to check and see if the new computer is still working. :-)

Hey folks, as is no doubt evident by now, this is the test thread, the place for our html trials and tribulations, and I'm open to suggestions for a new name. I didn't want to use "The Test Thread" since, well, it sounds like someone will be administering exams. I'm not sure that "Try the Mote" is clear enough without a thread description to accompany it. Ideas anyone?

71. JudithAtHome - 9/11/1999 11:35:08 AM

CalGal:

Where can I read about Niners expulsion from the White House?

72. vonKreedon - 9/11/1999 11:36:01 AM

Include thread descriptions at the top of thread pages?

73. JudithAtHome - 9/11/1999 11:38:45 AM

wabbit:

What about Test Run...

74. CalGal - 9/11/1999 11:39:27 AM

Wabbit,

Toybox?

75. CalGal - 9/11/1999 11:43:44 AM

Judith,

Basically, Foont bitched to MaryBeth that it wasn't about White House politics. MB deleted the thread. It was pretty much that simple.

vK,

I mentioned before--I think the short descriptions are too much of the Fray. More importantly, they are not enough info for a newbie, and unnecessary for anyone else.

I'd like to see the thread hosts have a description field on the butterscotch bar, or in the header somewhere, where they can explain how the thread works. The general rules for behavior, the type of subjects that might be welcome, and so on.

Cal:

That almost sounds like an adults sex shop....as opposed to a youthful one, I guess.

Excuse the spam. Did you receive my latest info re health insurance? I have more info to give if you want it.

78. vonKreedon - 9/11/1999 1:07:11 PM

Cal - Exactly, a header within the thread.

79. CalGal - 9/11/1999 1:09:01 PM

I wonder, thought--might it not be enough just to have a link to an "article" that explained the threads purpose? And we should probably move this to suggestions.

80. JJBiener - 9/11/1999 1:13:38 PM

Wabbit - Why don't you name the thread "Testing. . . One. . . Two. . ."

81. ethiopianeunuch - 9/11/1999 1:36:42 PM

welcome

82. DanDillon - 9/11/1999 1:56:00 PM

test

83. DanDillon - 9/11/1999 1:56:29 PM

phew

84. wabbit - 9/11/1999 10:52:00 PM

ethiopianeunuch,

Your link doesn't work, because:

•You have apostrophies where you don't need them and a missing quotemark
•You need to leave a space between the end of the url and the target command

Your link looks like this: (A
href='http://www.thewizardofoz.com/cmp/frameset.html"target="new"')welcome(/A)

It should look like this: (A
href="http://www.thewizardofoz.com/cmp/frameset.html" target="new")welcome(/A)

Substitute angle brackets for the parenthesis. Try this.

As I have said on many occasions previously, I am a dunce when it comes to computers. (Some of you will question whether this is limited just to computers).

But, I clicked into this thread expecting to see reasons why a new person should become a regular participant in The Mote. And this is a far different cup of tea from my expectations!

Am I the only one that interpreted "Try the Mote" in that manner? Or should this thread be re-named?

86. KuligintheHooligan - 9/12/1999 1:07:48 AM

phillipdavid, thanks for letting me know that you saw my Brush Script, but why didn't I? What I mean is, I see Brush in the HTML assistance section, but when I did it myself in my own post, I didn't see it on my screen.

Did anybody see the Desdemona font I used?

87. IrvingSnodgrass - 9/12/1999 1:11:44 AM

Vic:
I didn't see the Brush Script or the Desdemona, and I have both installed. I did see Brush Script when CalGal tried it recently. All this font stuff is very confusing.
